Student Biryani اسٹوڈنٹ بریانی
Student Biryani is a most popular biryani brand in Karachi from my childhood. I enjoyed student biryani at their Saddar and Nazimabd branches many times. Also purchased Student birayni for home from take away service. The quality, colour, flavour is wondrfull and uniform. They are using good quality basmati rice and their take away service is good. Recently I purchased 5 serving for home, each cost Rs 150. Today we try to make Student Biryani at home and now sharing with you its recipe.
